Zion Williamson dunks as part of couple's gender reveal video

The NBA draft lottery is fast approaching.

On May 14, which team that will be drafting No. 1 overall will be revealed — almost assuredly indicating the future of Zion Williamson in the process. 

But as he readies for the NBA draft, Williamson took part in a different reveal: a gender reveal. 

In a video released by Duke basketball on Wednesday night, Williamson threw down a dunk with a confetti-filled basketball that revealed the gender for the child of Nolan Elingburg, an associate director for the Blue Devil Network, and his partner Danielle. 

Perhaps it's not the craziest dunk Williamson has ever thrown down, but it's got to be one of the more special ones. 

The 18-year-old is heading to the NBA after a freshman season that saw him captivate the sports world with his supreme athleticism in a 6-foot-7, 285-pound frame. While Duke fell short of a national title, losing in the Elite Eight, Williamson picked up a number of awards and established himself as the near-unanimous No. 1 NBA pick in putting up 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.
